Woodturn a 3 Leg Stool

I demonstrate turning an old fashion 3 legged milking stool. In this basic spindle project I explain how to layout the design for drilling, mount the blanks without using a chuck and how to make the basic cuts and more.
In the second stool making video, Turn a 4 Legged Stool, available here: • How to Turn a 4 Legged... I cover additional material such as using a jig to drill holes, how to measure the angles for stretchers and more. Watch this one to learn some of the tips and techniques needed for the increased complexity that comes from adding stretchers.
In the third video available here: • How to Turn Duplicate ... I demonstrates how to duplicate spindles as I turn the legs for a 4 legged stool. The concepts and principles used for duplicating the stool legs also apply to any spindle project involving making more than one, such as legs for a table or spindles for a baby crib.
